Question

At the farm justin picks 3 bushels of fruit.The bushels weigh 8 1/4 pounds,6 1/2 pounds,and 6 5/8 pounds.What is the average weight per bushel?

Answer 1

7.125

Explanation:

Convert each fraction to a decimal

1/4=.25 = 8.250

1/2=.5 = 6.500

5/8=.625 = 6.625

Then, add all of them together

8.250+6.500+6.625=21.375

Lastly, divide by 3 because that's how many values you have

21.375/3=7.125
